CREAMY STRAWBERRY MOSCATO TORTE



Creamy Strawberry Moscato Torte image

This dish is sort of a summery tiramisù. The creamy mascarpone and ladyfinger layers in tiramisù are a natural with strawberries. But the espresso is too overbearing to match well with the sweet fruit. What to do? Swap out the liquid. Moscato d'Asti, a lightly sweet and fizzy wine, works here. Drizzle more of the wine on just before serving. It adds just the right brightness and verve.

Time 20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 quarts strawberries
1 tablespoon superfine or granulated sugar, more to taste
1 bottle (750 milliliters) moscato wine, more for serving
2 pounds mascarpone
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, more for sprinkling if desired
2 plump, moist vanilla beans
48 ladyfingers (2 packages)

Steps:

  • Hull and slice 1 quart of strawberries. Leave remaining 1/2 quart whole for garnish. Put sliced berries in a bowl and gently toss with superfine or granulated sugar, adding more if berries are very tart. Add a splash of moscato to bowl and macerate for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone, heavy cream and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar. Use a sharp knife to split vanilla beans lengthwise. With the knife's flat side, scrape out seeds and add to mascarpone mixture. Lightly whisk until soft peaks form. (Save vanilla pods for another use, like vanilla sugar.)
  • Pour 3 cups of moscato into a shallow bowl. Working with 2 or 3 cookies at a time, dip ladyfingers into the wine, turning once to coat for a few seconds so that they can absorb some of the liquid; use as many of them as fit to line a 9- by 13-inch baking dish (or other 2-quart casserole) in one layer.
  • Spread half of mascarpone mixture onto ladyfingers. Spoon strawberries and juices on top of mascarpone in an even layer. Dip more ladyfingers and arrange on top of berries in an even layer. Top with remaining mascarpone mixture, using a spatula to smooth. Cover and refrigerate torte for at least 6 hours and for as long as 2 days. Garnish with reserved strawberries. Scoop torte into bowls or goblets to serve and drizzle with a little more moscato.

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ quarts strawberries
1 tablespoon superfine or granulated sugar, more to taste
1 bottle (750 milliliters) moscato wine, more for serving
2 pounds mascarpone
½ cup heavy cream
⠓ cup confectioners’ sugar, more for sprinkling if desired
2 plump, moist vanilla beans
48 ladyfingers (2 packages)

Put sliced berries in a bowl and gently toss with superfine or granulated sugar, adding more if berries are very tart. Add a splash of moscato to bowl and macerate for 15 minutes.

Scoop torte into bowls or goblets to serve and drizzle with a little more moscato.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Moscato: Opt for a sweet Moscato with prominent fruity notes, such as Moscato d'Asti or Moscato di Canelli, to create a well-balanced torte.
  • Preparing the Crust: Use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter to ensure a firm and flavorful crust that can support the filling.
  • Softening Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, as this will make it easier to beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Incorporating Moscato: Gradually add the Moscato to the cream cheese mixture while beating continuously. This prevents curdling and ensures the Moscato flavor is evenly distributed.
  • Whipping the Cream: Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks to create a light and airy texture for the mousse filling.
  • Folding the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its fluffiness, avoiding overmixing.
  • Chilling Time: Allow the torte to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
  • Garnishing: Before serving, garnish the torte with fresh strawberries and mint leaves for an appealing presentation.
